"Xiao Lan, is he truly ruthless? Is he the same man who created Ruthless Dao Sword Technique?" Qin asked. Although he had some doubts about it, he wasn't sure. So, he never considered this deeply.
"Yes, he is the one who created this technique. But, if you want to know how ruthless this guy is then I am afraid I can't tell you. Because just like there is no realm to measure my master's strength, there is no word to express his ruthlessness."
"I don't want to talk about him since he could easily hear me. Young Master, you don't need to think about who created this universe, who created that barrier, who created humans, who created those laws. If a sword can break this universe, why bother questioning so much?"
"But, do keep in mind, swordsmanship can't bring people back to life. So, get stronger while enjoying every part of your life. Because if you are strong, even if you can't bring people back to life, you can still cut the death apart."
Saying so, Xiao Lan turned silent leaving one more question in his heart.
Why can't his parents visit him?
Clue- Get stronger!
Qin sighed in his heart. He found he has to accept this. No matter what, he can't force Xiao Lan to reveal anything. But, he felt he shouldn't even ask such a question. Why is his life getting so mysterious?
At least, let him solve one mystery before heading to the next one but no!
Somehow, his fate only entices more mysteries around.
"I guess you also got the answer." Guan Xing looked at his bitter expression and spoke.
Qin raised his head and saw the same expression on his face.
At this moment, both understood why they became friends. Have the knowledge of everything at their fingertips but strength restricts them.
"Since I can't say anything about that, let me continue with my previous explanation."
"The universe holds everything and the worlds are divided by the cosmic barrier that one can only pass when he has enough strength. But, outside this cosmic barrier, the are stars and these stars die frequently."
"After death, some stars form a strange monster of void known as Black Hole while some form an immense amount of energy that transforms into different kinds of metals and resources. While we can't go out of this cosmic barrier, everything else can come in as long as it doesn't threaten the entire cosmic barrier."
"We have thank heaven for this. Because this is a constant source of resources for our world. That comet is also the part of resources created out of the dead star. Do you want to know why I want to create heaven in this place?"
"Because without heaven, everything will eventually fall into chaos. The world is here because heaven is here. And, next time, please don't swear or make an oath on heaven. The only reason why those thunderclouds didn't throw a thunderbolt at you was that there is no heaven here."
"And, this is bad. Because there is a certain art practice by a certain group of people that eat worlds. Yes, they eat the vitality of the world. The vitality simply includes every living creature in this small region."
"Yes, this technique is not circulated but who knows what could happen in this world. A few years ago, I was just a normal young man.... Well, normal wouldn't be a correct word. I was a genius even before having this pen. But, after I found this pen, I learned a lot, so many things that even Ancestors doesn't know."
"And, there could be someone who could inherit such technique. That's why this pen is urging me to condense heaven as soon as possible. Because once heaven is condensed, it can control every element of this region to fight against those people."
"But, I don't understand one thing. Why do these people want to fight heaven? Why do these people want to defy heaven? What does heaven has ever done to these people? In fact, they should be grateful that there is a heaven."
"Do you think these people can come up with cultivation realms and cultivation on their own? Fuck no! It was Heaven who created the cultivation realms. And, everyone is following the path. Heaven just wants them to follow this path. Why can't these people understand it?"
"Are they idiots? Are they born out of a woman's anus? Are they born with half? Somebody is telling you to follow the rules. Then, just follow them! Why do you want to make yourself life and someone's life difficult?"
"And, because of these idiots, my life is not filled with difficulties. For god sake, I am only an eighteen-year-old kid. And, these idiots are forcing this pen to force me to create heaven. Man, it's hard. Why do those mothers even give birth to those idiots?"
"Heaven isn't restricting you from cultivation. Heaven doesn't suck away your qi. Why can't they understand that it doesn't distribute talent? It's their fucking parents who give birth to their fucking talentless children."
"Why do they blame heaven or god for it? If they have time to blame someone, why not fucking go underwater and train for five years? You can freaking achieve Water Spirit Body."
"Calm down! Calm down, Guan Xing! CALM DOWN" Suddenly, Qin puts his hands on Guan Xing's shoulder. At this moment, he saw a few drops of tears in Guan Xing's eyes. He pulls Guan Xing into his embrace and says "Calm down, okay?"
"I can't. I am eighteen. At my age, youngsters cultivate, search for their future partners, make new friends, but why am I stuck with these responsibilities? Do you know few seconds before I created Xiao Feng, she was like nothing to me?"
"She was literally just wind. But, when I created her, I feel like I have a new family, a little sister. That's why I never tried to create her before. She is a spirit. She can fight for me. But, I have a new responsibility to grow her into a stronger spirit."
"Why do I have to bear these responsibilities? Just because I have a freaking Innate Dao Physique?"
At this moment, Guan Xing crushed Qin with his hug. But, Qin wasn't in the mood to disturb him. Because he knows why Guan Xing was frustrated. It's because the man was forcing him to grow stronger and create heaven.
It's frustrating. While Qin was desperate to grow stronger, Guan Xing was completely opposite. That's why Qin could feel him. Because he felt the same desperation but for the opposite reason than Guan Xing.
"How about this?" Suddenly, he separates Guan Xing away from his embrace and shouted at his face leaving Guan Xing stunned.
"Let me do it! Let me share your responsibility! I don't want the life of what you just said. I want to get stronger. I want to be super strong. So, let me help you. Those heaven-defying geniuses, I will crush them."
"There will be no heaven-defying geniuses in this world. Every time I find one, I will crush him/her. You are not a woman, so I can't release your frustration at the bed."
"But, you are a friend. So, I will release your frustration at the battlefield. Let me be strong, let me protect you, let me crush those enemies for you. And if I ever reach the highest realm, teach me how to live a life, teach me how to enjoy every moment of my life."
Bam!
But suddenly, Guan Xing slammed his fist on Qin's chest. The power smashed Qin to the ground leaving him in confusion. When he raised his head, he saw Guan Xing's eyes turning red.
"No, I don't want you to drift away from your happiness. I won't stop you from chasing strength. I won't stop you from chasing your goal. But, you must enjoy your life on this journey. Yes, I feel frustrated. I feel sad, angry, disappointed but I am going to live with these emotions."
"Because they are the emotions that make me a human. Don't pity me! If you want to pity someone then have pity for yourself. You have talent, looks, and even shamelessness to attract women. So why? Why are you trying to abandon these emotions?"
"I am your friend, Qin. I can see you growing stronger but I can't see you abandoning your emotions. If you truly treat me as your friend, then instead of letting me enjoy my life, you should kick me and ask me 'Why am I not training?'."
"True friend doesn't just share others' pain, they also keep their friends on a proper path. Because to share the pain, there could be your family, your lover, but to keep you in your true path, there can only be a friend."
Qin didn't know what to say. He wrapped his arms around his legs and stayed silent.
Outside the door, there was a young man sitting down. He had his arms wrapped around his legs. After a few minutes, he stood up and smashed the door.
"I want to be your friend as well, a true friend."
